Notes and Editorial Reviews

The sumptuous production by Giancarlo del Monaco from February 6, 2010 featuring the return of legendary tenor Plácido Domingo, this time in the baritone title role. Also starring Adrianne Pieczonka as Boccanegra’s long-lost daughter Amelia and featuring Marcello Giordani and James Morris. James Levine conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus.

-----

"Mr. Domingo...sounded liberated as Boccanegra...when he dipped into the lower baritone register, he had to fortify his sound with chesty, sometimes leathery power... this was some of his freshest singing in years. The Canadian soprano Adrianne Pieczonka was splendid, singing with clear, shimmering, pitch-perfect sound and lovelyRead more phrasing."
